Ek het hierdie boek geskryf omdat ek nooit hulp gekry het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEk het gesien waardeur baie vroue, en kinders wat met \u2019n stiefpappa grootgeword het, gaan. Dit het my altyd emosioneel laat voel, en toe voel ek as ek \u2019n boek skryf, is ek moontlik \u2019n inspirasie vir iemand anders daar buite wat nie hulp gekry het nie en wat dink hulle kan nie oor sulke dinge kom nie,\u201d s\u00ea Sonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Op \u2019n vraag oor hoe familielede voel oor die boek wat sy geskryf het oor iets wat in die familiekring gebeur het, s\u00ea Sonia: \u201cDie familie is tevrede met wat ek gedoen het. Sommige van hulle is wel gekant daarteen, maar ek gee nie om nie, want dit is wat \u00e9k deurgegaan het en hulle was nie daar toe ek dit deurgegaan het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHulle het my almal afgestaan die tyd wat ek dit vir my ouers en my naaste familie vertel het. Ek het geen hulp van hulle gekry nie en spesifiek nie van my ma nie,\u201d s\u00ea Sonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Op \u2019n vraag aan Sonia of haar ouers nog leef, antwoord sy: \u201cNee, hulle albei is vandag onder die grond. My ma het in Januarie gesterf, maar sy het geweet van die boek wat ek geskryf het en sy het dit goedgekeur.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonia, wat in Riviersonderend gebore en geto\u00eb is, is nie rekenaar-geletterd nie. \u201cEk het met pen op papier geskryf. Jaco Koen van Funky Force Youth Development Movie Centre NPO en spesifiek hul skryfafdeling het gehelp om dit op die rekenaar te kry en hy het dit verder gevat,\u201d s\u00ea Sonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Net een Traan<\/em> is tans in elektroniese formaat by Amazon beskikbaar, maar sodra genoeg geld beskikbaar is, sal dit ook in gedrukte vorm beskikbaar wees. Die boek sal in Engels as <em>Teardrop<\/em> verskyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonia werk op \u2019n hoenderplaas by Stormsvlei Avontuur en s\u00ea: \u201cEk het al baie goeie terugvoer oor die boek ontvang, maar baie van my vriende wil wag om die gedrukte weergawe van die boek te koop. Hulle s\u00ea hulle wil die boek in hul hande hou en lees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaco Koen van Funky Force Youth Movement noem aan <em>Hermanus Times<\/em>: \u201cOns is regtig baie trots op Sonia.
